At the roadshow section, contestants demonstrated their technology, business model and solutions in details, whose unique concepts, promising market opportunity, and forward-looking industrial perspective impressed the judges and guests. Apeptico from Austria in biomedicine, Femto Fiber Tec in smart manufacturing and OakLabs in artificial intelligence from Germany went through the contest of 17 companies, who will attend the Semi-final contest in Mianyang, China in early December. They will compete with the Global Top 30 for the $100,000 championship prize, join the round-trip pitching and matchmaking across China to pitch local investors and enterprises, and participate in the International Innovation Bootcamp to gain professional startup coaching for better entering the China market.

Introduction of IPIEC GLOBAL 2018 German Chapter Top 3 ProjectsOaklabsThe project team members are physical chemistry scientists from the Max Planck Institute and the Aachen University of Technology. They have developed a novel and effective clinical trial patient selection method that reconfigures the diagnostic development process. The use of innovative algorithms based on artificial intelligence and machine learning to develop biomarker signatures to accurately predict the (non)reaction of a particular drug is extremely accurate.

ApepticoThe project team member is top biomedical experts from Europe, including Vienna. They created the first and only compound to accelerate alveolar fluid clearance in two clinical trials, to restore lung-permeable edema (using mechanically ventilated patients) and by Physiological lung function in patients with primary transplant dysfunction caused by lung transplantation. Application of Solnatide aerosol enhances gene level of epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) expression and activates ENaC for pulmonary edema clearance.

Femto Fiber TecThe company is the first in the world to realize the production of commercial fs FBG (fiber Bragg grating) sensor. The advantages of The FBG sensing technology includes ：temperature stability up to 1000 °C； not susceptible to humidity and radiation；High resolution measurement with extremely low scattering loss.
